Back in the day, college was optional, and people with only high school educations could get high-paying jobs. But now it has become a REQUIREMENT that you have to have a minimum of a bachelors degree from an accredited university if you want to have a job making more than minimum wage.
College no longer has anything to do with learning or knowledge acquisition, it is nothing more than a litmus test for employers. You're basically paying tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for a job, and not an education.
Corporatism has turned a bachelors degree into a requirement for even the most basic kinds of labor. It has also dramatically devalued academic degrees since virtually every other person has one.
Soon the benchmark just to become an average worker will be a masters degree. Now you will be forced to get even deeper into debt just to get your ticket punched and join the workforce.
White and blue-collar jobs are dwindling, tuition costs are skyrocketing, colleges are overcrowded, large masses of people are defaulting on their student loans, employers are becoming over-demanding of potential job applicants.
This is GREAT economics! I wonder who came up with this one...
The young man in this video is spot-on with his talking points.
